They Eat Puppies, Don't They?

Preeminent satirist Christopher Buckley, bestselling author of "Supreme Courtship, " returns with a hilarious and sure-to-be controversial novel about U.S.-China relations. In an attempt to gain Congressional approval for a top-secret weapons system, Washington lobbyist "Bird" McIntyre and sexy Neo-Con wonkette Angel Templeton start a rumour that the Chinese secret service is trying to assassinate the Dalai Lama. Their outrageous scheme provokes a series of crises involving the White House, the CIA, and a strangely sympathetic and vulnerable Chinese president, with both countries veering perilously towards war.
